I'm going to start updating every now and again what my current healing stats and gear looks like. I want to upgrade some of my pieces, I'd really rather not be wearing cloth if possible. But for now, I want to maximize my healing stats, not worrying about armor. Any advice from you uber healers would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I need a place to quickly go and see what my healing gear stats are. As Jess knows, I hate when I'm turning in a quest in solo gear and am not sure whether the healing quest reward is an upgrade or whether I should upgrade my solo gear. And often, I'm logged out in solo gear so checking the Armory doesn't help. Yes, I know there is some addon that can allow you to see what's in your bank, but I try to limit the number of addons I'm running.

Chest and waist can't be linked, they're not listed individually for some reason. They're part of the Slavehandler set (Slavehandler Jerkin of the Physician and Slavehandler Belt of the Prophet). Pics instead.

Phaelia (there, I got it right this time!), I don't know what add-ons you use, but one I've come to swear by is Rating Buster.

At a glance, it'll compare what you have vs. what you think you want, and give you differences between key attributes (not necessarily stats such as Int, Sta, etc., but +Heal, +Spell Damage, +Mana, etc.).

The drawback, as I think you alluded to in your initial post, is that it only compares what you're wearing, not what's in the bank.

It only works if you have the gear on you. The name of the set is greyed out if some of the items are in the bank. I found a long time ago that I couldn't get away with keeping any of my main sets in the bank (bear, cat, healer). I do keep all the resist gear in the bank these days though.
